Tcharkuldu Rock
A cluster of weathered granite domes and balancing boulders near Wudinna, with a short walking trail and big inland views.
Tcharkuldu Rock sits just outside Wudinna, a jumble of smooth granite domes and improbably balanced boulders that make for a great short walk and an even better photograph. Sculpture-like rock forms dot the reserve, and the climb to the top opens up a wide horizon over the surrounding farmland.
The site has long-standing significance to the local Aboriginal people, and gnamma holes in the granite once held precious water. A walking trail loops among the formations, passing examples of the tafoni weathering that pits the stone into honeycomb patterns.
It pairs naturally with nearby Mount Wudinna, the giant granite monolith a short drive away. Both are easy stops on the way through the central Eyre Peninsula, with picnic facilities and free entry.
